hehe.. fixed :D
amazing price on the 1TB drive. must resist
These make video editing so much less enraging :)
Nice. Cheap way to get a 1TB SSD.
I also stumbled upon this on eBay just now… 1TB is so cheap, but I have no use for it :(
wow that is a good deal! Must admit, I've been holding out on a deal on the SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD. Don't suppose any OzBargainers have seen any specials on those? This deal on the Samsung might just tempt me enough though……
About to grab one, thanks op.
Shame Cashrewards isn't available with Ebay anymore.
Paid $458 less than two months ago for the 1TB. Graaaaaagh.
Aside: Nintendo Switch owners - these are perfect for your modded Switch and carrying around your homebrew (et al).
~2 years ago I paid $700-800 for a 1 TB
~1 year ago I paid $700-800 for a 2 TB
A month ago I paid $750 (after $250 rebate) for a 4 TB.
Looking forward to the 8 TB next year for the same…I'm looking forward to 1tb drives for $80 :p
How do these perform against the standard non-portable SSDs?
with usb 3.1 interface they are lightning fast, i have the 250gb and am very impressed compared to my inbuilt sata drive, definitely faster than putting drive into an usb 3 enclosure.
Almost as fast as the SATA ones, but only 20-25% the speed of the NVME ones.
I wish the next generation of coles use NVme

Requires Thunderbolt 3 (not USB 3.1 compatible).
$9 postage for these but only $6 postage for the 250GB model.
Damn good price. Compact drive. Super fast. I have 2 x 1TB already though.
hmm… (2 * 250TB) or (1 * 500TB) ? Both have different benefits, but $9 difference though.
Purely up to you I'd say.
1x500gb ….you don’t want to be swapping drives to find stuff , and you don’t want to use up 2 sub ports for the storage you can do with one. desktops have lots of ports, with laptops they are precious resource.
Always go for the bigger drive unless the bigger drive costs significantly more per TB. Managing a heap of small drives / carrying them / storing them etc is a pain. In the future you'll no doubt want another one and so the less drives you have now the better.
when are we getting a bing lee in melbourne :-(
I’m surprised we haven’t since heaps of Chinese are here
I think I will wait. SSDs will fail in price even more next year.
They will probably fall significantly over the next 12 months, but the ones causing the drop are 4 bit SSDs (not as fast sustained speeds and not as durable). The RRP of the 4 bit ones is above the prices we're currently paying for these 3 bit ones so I expect it will take a few months before they really hit with discounts.
